Located off of the purple line 5 station Yeouinaru is Yeouido Hangang Park 여의도한강공원. It's a great place to go if you want to catch a cruise on the river, have a picnic, or play. With a children's park on one end and the river lined with restaurants on the water there's plenty of space to [...]
For Christmas this year Nathalie and I decided to try something new, so we booked an early Christmas eve dinner at Craftworks which boasted 2 hours of all you can eat buffet of Christmas-y foods, though mostly meat. Pangyo is a planned city built-in 2001 and you can tell. It's spacious, quiet and filled with [...]
Across from Myungbo hall where we watched Jump was Nolboo Restaurant. A pretty big restaurant that we took up in it's entirety. What we had was army stew or Budae Jjigae (부대찌개). It's a type of hot pot with meat like spam, balony and hot dogs in it as well as veggies and tofu all cooked [...]
As per our field trip madness on a wednesday afternoon we took 3 large buses down to Seoul to watch Jump a non-vocal martial arts comedy. I love non-vocal performances, things like Leterna Magica, where you don't need to know the language because they don't really use it. The same thing with street performance magic [...]
Recently we've had a lot of field trips. One was a teachers only trip to Gangwon-do Provincial Flower Garden which is near Chuncheon on a very rainy day. I'd been told we'd be going on a picnic, but it seems that was a bit of a misunderstanding since we didn't eat in the park at all. We hovered [...]
I love parks, forests, conservatories and arboretums so when I saw there was one in Daegu I was pretty excited to go. Since it was kind of far away from where we were we decided to go there first and then work our way back. The Daegu Arboretum is free and was really popular with [...]
On my fourth day (full day) in Bangkok I got up really early. Well, early for a person on vacation and I was super excited. I ate breakfast quickly and sat in the lobby, checking my phone and waiting for my ride. I had booked a cooking class that was suppose to pick me up [...]
In Siam Paragon, in the basement is an aquarium. And I love aquariums. After going through more security and down an escalator past all the decorations for shark week I went and bought my ticket. There wasn't a line and the aquarium wasn't very packed. I think most of the school groups had just left [...]
The second part of our field trip was to a baseball game. Since it was a field trip I assumed it was an early baseball game and we'd still get home by 4:40/5pm. It wasn't. I've actually never been to a professional baseball game before, which is sad since I had plenty of opportunities to [...]
I teach at two different small public schools in South Korea. Occasionally when there are field trips I get to go with them. This one was a bit of a last minute surprise. First we took a bus to Lotte World Aquarium where a manager came out and talked to the kids about Lotte World [...]
